    Hi NewbieJono 

     

    Thanks for the reply from Greg_Deckler , please allow me to provide another insight:

     

    I created a sample to get the difference in Value for 01/04/2024 - 19/04/2024 and the difference in Value for 01/04/2023 - 19/04/2023, hope this helps.

     

    My sample:

     

    Create two measures as follow

     

    01/04/2024 - today = 
    VAR _1 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER('Table', [Date] = EOMONTH(TODAY(), -1) + 1))
    VAR _2 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER('Table', [Date] = TODAY()))
    RETURN
    _1 - _2

     

     

     

    01/04/2023 - 19/04/2023 = 
    VAR _11 = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()) - 1, MONTH(TODAY()), DAY(TODAY()))
    VAR _1 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER('Table', [Date] = _11))
    VAR _2 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER('Table', [Date] = EOMONTH(_11, -1) + 1))
    RETURN
    _1 - _2

     

     

    Result:

     

    If this sample data is structurally different from the one you are using, please do not hesitate to mention it and I will modify it.

     

    Best Regards,
    Yulia Xu
